Are there any posters on here willing to admit they had Wilder wrong?

that's a dumb business move. it doesn't benefit wilder, doesn't benefit you, the fan who has to pay 80 bucks more for this nonsense, and definitely doesn't benefit AJ. so at the end of the day, it only benefits Haymon, finkel, and showtime. that's it. that's the very definition of graft.

So why should it be on DAZN?

None of those guys are doing anything to advance or further his career. He is the WBC's Heavyweight champion of the world and an American heavyweight champion at that.
He is the most Goddamn famous boxer in the world and is not being justly or fairly compensated for it. They are all taking unfair advantage of him because of his loyalty.
He should be bringing home more than $1.5mil paydays. The man can fight but the problem is he doesn't have a promoter.
If he was properly promoted and sold to the public as he should, then he wouldn't have any trouble bringing home the $25-$50 mil paydays that he so richly deserves. I hate to see him exploited the way he is.
Tyson, Ali and Holmes had Don King. Deontay Wilder has nobody giving him that kind of push which is sad. He needs a promoter who can create enough stir, awareness and buzz in order to promote his fights to the public.

So why should it be on DAZN?
Dazn is willing to come in and match whatever any ppv will generate for the two fighters.

Originally posted by Mirror Universe View PostThere's nothing to do. Neither fighter is available. If they both win their next fights, talks will resume as always. The fight is unlikely to happen as long as Hearn insists that both fights take place on DAZN. If he ever agrees to one fight on each platform, then the fight will probably happen.
DAZN offer the best deal currently. If Showtime want the fight, then need to offer more.
Why would two free agents fight for less money? that's ******, even for a Wilder fanboy.

UK generates less than US.
DAZN generates less than PPV.
Which side kept insisting on UK and DAZN and which side just wanted to maximize revenue?
You put yourself in checkmate.
